Sites

A site groups Proxmox nodes, defines network configuration, and manages container networking. Create at least one site before adding nodes.

Ensure the DHCP range doesn't conflict with static IPs (Proxmox nodes, management container, infrastructure devices).

DHCP and DNS

  • Containers automatically receive IPs from the DHCP range
  • Internal DNS resolves container-name.INTERNAL_DOMAIN
  • External queries forwarded to configured DNS forwarders
  • All records created/removed automatically with container lifecycle
